NEW PRODUCT!
New, to repair winter damaged skin: Buttery Repair Cream.
A friend has concocted a rich, healing blend of exotic butters… Shea, Cocoa,
Kokum and Mango, blended with Aloe Juice, Rose Hydrosol, Vegetable Glycerin, and
Witch Hazel. Calendula and Carrot Seed add to its cellular repairing effects.
This is the richest, thickest cream I have ever experienced, but it absorbs well
and quickly. I am seeing results on my winter chapped hands that I have never
experienced with any of our earlier products. It is very faintly scented by
the raw ingredients. After applying to my skin, all I can smell, if I try
really hard, is chocolate, from the cocoa butter. If you choose you could stir
in a few drops of your favorite skin repair essential oil or synergy, but I urge
you to try this “as is” with no added ingredients.
Because it is too thick to package in a bottle or even a Malibu, we are offering
it in 1 and 4 ounce jars, with a tiny cosmetic spatula to scoop it out with.
(Less than clean fingers can contaminate the most well preserved natural
product. Please handle this with care.)
I haven’t yet tried this on my elbows, heels, and other difficult areas, but I
expect amazing results when I do.
BACK IN STOCK:
We have run out of, and restocked, a wide range of essential oils and
hydrosols: Among them, our organically distilled Canadian Black Spruce (mentioned above), our exquisite
High
Alpine Juniper Oil (for New Year’s cleansing rituals, perhaps?),
Melissa Oil from
our favorite British distiller, sparkling Haitian
Lemongrass,
from a newly found distiller in Nepal— Rhododenron
Oil. After too long an absence we have finally restocked
Roman Chamomile Hydrosol, freshly distilled by an organic Canadian producer.

HOLIDAY SCHEDULE:
In December we will be open Tuesday, December 23rd, which is also the
last day to ship Express Mail in the US for delivery by Christmas. Orders
placed by noon Central time (with no billing problems!) will ship that day.
We will not be here Christmas Eve or Christmas Day or Friday the 26th. (Some
of us have out-of-state families and are taking a long weekend to go
visiting.) We will return on 12/29 through 12/31 for inventory but no more
orders should ship until January 2nd. (If, however, you have a true
emergency and need, for example, some Calophyllum and Ravensara, contact us
by email. We may be able to make an exception for orders that include
Express Mail and are for true emergencies.) Without prior arrangements, all
orders will be processed after inventory in the order they were placed.
SHIPPING DEADLINES:
For Express delivery to Europe, Asia, the Pacific Rim the Express Mail
shipping deadline is 12/14. Express mail to Canada needs to ship by the 16th.
DOMESTIC SHIPPING:
Priority Mail packages need to ship by Saturday, the 20th, and, if you are a
late shopper, the Post Office says that Express Mail packages shipped on Tuesday
the 23rd will be delivered by Christmas day.
That is what the post office says. Based on the results of orders shipped
during this past week, I am a bit skeptical.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:
For Asia and the Pacific Rim, Australia and New Zealand, and Europe the USPS
guarantees delivery by the 25th for packages shipped via International Express
by December 14th. For Canada, the deadline is December 16th. Please note
these estimates do not allow for delays in customs processing.
All of these deadlines are suggested by the USPS. We do not and can not
guarantee delivery by a specific date. IF there is no problem with the payment
for your order we will ship on the same or next business day, and all retail
orders placed through December 22nd will ship before we close on the 23rd.
RECIPES FROM CHRISTMAS PAST:
Found a collection of Holiday Blends I don’t think I have ever shared.
Long Winter’s Night
Pine Grove
Winter Glow
O Tannenbaum!
Angel’s Wings
The Magi
A Christmas Rose
All of the above blends are intended for room fragrancing, however, with proper dilution, they would make
wonderful lotion or perfume blends. Scent your Christmas wrapping paper or cards with them.
And, from our Dec. 15, 2004 newsletter:
Holiday “Clean Air” Formula — “Your House Smells Terrific” Air Purifying Mist:
In a small spray bottle pour 4 ozs of purified water add:
I like this blend in the aromalamp (without the water, of course!). It’s a wonderful holiday blend if you are tired of the evergreens.
